Twitter constantly encourages new levels of batshit because everyone is fighting for attention. I had a troll account with over 1500 followers that got nuked in I think 2017 after I posted a screenshot of the twitter stock price and tagged Jack Dorsey, I'd got a couple of suspensions before that for just being a dickhead but I was really surprised that was what got the permanent ban. Honestly, it was good thing in the end, fewer distractions and the super secret cabal chats I was in I'd added them on other platforms anyway.
The thing I saw even then was selective enforcement, I'd get death threats all the time from various tough guys over posts where I'd mocked them for being socialists or whatever, which I'd report, they'd never get banned. I didn't care that much because it's the internet and I wasn't posting under my real name, what were they going to do. But then I'd see people getting banned for telling others threatening them that they were strapped and it wasn't a good idea to make those threats. There's a hierarchy on Twitter when it comes to following the rules, and if you draw the ire of the people in the protected upper echelons you'll be threatened and bullied without any recourse.
